Kings GM Met With Mark Jackson

Anou Enright December 17, 2014 Rumors No Comments on Kings GM Met With Mark Jackson

Mark JacksonWhile many are still scratching their heads over the firing of Kings coach Mike Malone, Sacramento appears on the prowl for their next long-term hire already. So far, we’ve heard George Karl, Vinny Del Negro and now Mark Jackson. In fact, Jackson has already met with the GM. Jackson’s demeanor seems like it would be able to handle DeMarcus Cousins. Would be a good hire.

Yet late Tuesday night at Sleep Train Arena, after the Kings fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder 104-92, another possible candidate emerged in the most convenient of ways: former Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson. After calling the game courtside for ESPN, Jackson had a lengthy meeting with Mullin, Kings general manager Pete D’Alessandro and franchise centerpiece DeMarcus Cousins inside the “Chairman’s Lounge” where they had requested that arena workers and others give them some privacy.

Jackson, Mullin, and Cousins entered the room at approximately 10:20 p.m. Pacific time, with Cousins sporting a black suit as he continues to recover from his bout with viral meningitis that has kept him out of action since Nov. 26. D’Alessandro joined them approximately 20 minutes into the meeting, and the group finally exited just before midnight, long after the room had been cleared so that they could have a moment to discuss, well, connect the dots yourself.
